The Carroll Tigers saw their season come to an end Wednesday night in a less than desirable second half against Lewis Central. What is normally not a three pointer team, the Tigers would start off the contest going shot for shot against the Titans, scoring three three-pointers in the first quarter. The Tigers and Titans kept the first quarter close, but the Tigers were able to win the first quarter with a score of 21-18. The Titans, though, would switch up their defensive scheme often in the second quarter, making it hard for the Tigers to move the ball effectively on offense. Both teams would have struggles scoring baskets in the second quarter, with the score standing at 29-27 for almost five minutes. The Titans would take advantage of their three trips to the free throw line, making three of their six, while the Tigers missed their only free throws in the quarter. The Titans would be down 31-30 before they would make a last second layup to secure a 32-31 lead at halftime.
In a game that came down to the wire, the Carroll Tigers were unable to come back and win on Saturday against Winterset. The day for the Tigers started off slower than they would have liked it, unable to get shots to fall for them. Winterset used the Tigers’ slow start to go up 12-2 in the first quarter and end up at 31-20 at halftime.
The second half for the Tigers was much improved as they started to chip away at the Huskies lead. The Tigers would go on a 9-4 run to start the third quarter and would end up down three at 38-35. Kennedy Lein and Gabi Hammer were the two taking charge and attacking the basket against Jena Young for Winterset in the third to get them down three heading into the fourth quarter. The Tigers had the chance to take back the lead in the fourth quarter, being down by one point multiple times. Head coach Katie Kock says her team had great looks in this quarter, but were unable to sink in the crucial shots to gain the lead. The Tigers would be down
